Look at the bike. It has been converted into a 10 speed with a rear drum brake bike, from a coaster brake single speed model. Not the easiest thing to do to a middleweight bike, but definitely possible. I converted a three speed 1961 Mk. IV jaguar into a 5 speed model 5 years ago, and it looks factory stock.

Ahhh... I see, spoker.
Point well taken.

With a better paint job, the bike could be a real head turner.

Just the bike.

Thanks to GTs58, he sent me this beautiful 1962 "Road killed Corvette" 2 rivet seat that I restored and used to finish up the project in 2010.
